Chapter 673 674 [The unknown person]
After Professor Ling left, Xiang Nan began to write "The Unknown", commemorating those who silently contributed to poverty alleviation.
Professor Ling, Ma Defu, Zhang Shucheng... They could have lived comfortably.
Professor Ling can take classes and do scientific research in school without being exposed to the wind, rain or sun...
Ma Defu and Zhang Shucheng can also sit in the office, have a cup of tea, a cigarette, and read a newspaper for half a day, and they can also live comfortably.
But for the sake of the people, they all put aside their comfortable lives, toiled and dedicated themselves. Even when misunderstood and reviled, he can continue to persevere.
This spirit is really great.
Xiang Nan didn't believe that there would be such a fool in the world. But now, he was deeply shocked, and felt that his soul had been baptized.
Therefore, he wrote this "The Unknown Man" very carefully, it can be said that he worked hard. After finishing writing, he was in vain for several days.
…
Subsequently, Xiang Nan sent this 70,000-word novella to the People's Literature Magazine.
After reading this article, the magazine immediately decided to publish it as soon as possible.
Subsequently, this "The Unknown Man" was published in the "People's Literature" magazine, and was once again reprinted and reported by major official media.
Firstly, "The Unknown" praises those selfless and unknown poverty alleviation heroes, and the official media is trying to vigorously promote this kind of positive energy.
Secondly, the story of "The Unknown" is really well written. The three protagonists portrayed are flesh and blood, vivid and touching, so they are naturally popular.
"The Unknown Man" was widely praised, and even high-level executives called Yan Xia to ask for details after reading this article. Of course, Xia Xia also attached great importance to it, and immediately began to investigate, and learned that the three protagonists of "The Unknown" all had prototypes.
It was Zhang Shucheng, the former director of the Hoisting Office, Ma Defu, the head of Jintan Village, and Ling Yinong, a professor who supports agriculture in southern Fujian... These three have worked hard and dedicated themselves to helping immigrants live a better life. They have really contributed a lot.
Because of this, Zhang Shucheng and Ma Defu were named and praised by their superiors. At the end of the year, they were also awarded the title of Advanced Individual in Provincial Poverty Alleviation, which was officially registered in the hearts of their superiors.
Professor Ling, who is far away in Xinxuan, has also won many honors, and even allocated hundreds of thousands more in scientific research funding.
…
Entering 1999, Xiang Nan discussed with Li Shuihua about having a baby.
As soon as they came, the two of them were not too young. Xiang Nan is twenty-nine, Shui Hua is twenty-six, and if she doesn't give birth again, she will soon become an elderly woman.
Secondly, in the past two years, the operation of their factories has been relatively smooth without any major incidents, so they can just seize the opportunity.
Shuihua naturally agrees with Xiang Nan's proposal very much.
In these years, with the support, help, and encouragement of her husband, she has grown from a poor girl in a ravine to a private entrepreneur with a net worth of hundreds of millions.
While she was growing rapidly, Xiang Nan grew faster than her.
Wineeries, canning factories, fruit vinegar factories, livestock farms, vegetable greenhouses, herbal medicine planting... Various industries are booming, not only making money for themselves, but also benefiting tens of thousands of people.
Therefore, she is grateful, admiring, and loving Xiang Nan.
…
In June 1999, after Xiang Nan's hard work, a tender seedling finally grew in Shuihua's stomach.
Therefore, she completely put down her job and raised her baby at home with peace of mind.
Xiang Nan also only works for half an hour a day, making decisions and sorting out accounts, and spends most of the rest of the day at home with Splash.
But 1999 passed relatively smoothly.
Liren Clothing continues to expand. From an unknown brand full of local flavor, after years of development, it has become a well-known clothing brand.
There are brand stores in more than 30 provinces and more than 600 cities across the country. Some are directly under the franchise store, some are franchise stores, the total number has exceeded 800.
Last year, 130 million pieces were sold, sales exceeded 5.3 billion RMB, and net profit was 340 million RMB. Compared with the same period, the results have increased significantly, which is quite good.
As for Xiangnan's winery, fruit vinegar factory, canning factory, etc., this year's development is also very good.
Although the wines of Quanjun Liquor Co., Ltd. have only been established for three years, they are already well-known.
Come, the price is affordable. Wines imported from foreign countries can be sold for hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of RMB with a foreign brand name.
In comparison, the high-end wines of Quanjun Liquor are only a few hundred yuan, and the low-end wines are only 30 to 50 yuan. And it is made from real grapes, not the kind of inferior wine blended with alcohol, spices, and pigments. There are people who know how to appreciate cheap and high-quality goods.
Secondly, the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys, so Xiang Nan has often helped Quanjun Liquor in publicity in recent years.
Or advertise on the TV station, touting that the wines of Quanjun Liquor are really brewed according to ancient methods. The so-called [Grape Wine Luminous Cup] is an authentic ancient wine making method in the Western Regions, and it is touted as a real Chinese wine, playing the patriotic card.
Or send the wine abroad to participate in the selection of some red wine awards. It doesn't matter whether this award is formal or not, it's some kind of pheasant award, anyway, it's just a big fanfare when it's passed back to China.
A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. After several years of marketing, the wines of Quanjun Liquor Industry have become very well-known, and the sales volume is also very good.
In 1998, it sold 7,500 tons of wine, with a sales volume of 650 million and a net profit of 230 million, which is very good.
The canning factory is also developing very well now, and its main products are canned grapes and canned mushrooms.
The sales of canned grapes are very stable, and only in winter will there be a surge in sales. Because there are more weddings in rural areas in winter, canned grapes can be regarded as a dish for dessert.
Canned mushrooms are now mainly used for export. Today, the canned mushrooms of Fulinmen are very popular overseas.
One is affordable, and the common people can afford it; the other is good taste. The climate and soil quality in the summer are very suitable for growing mushrooms. The mushrooms are thick and plump, so they taste very chewy.
…
As for fruit vinegar, the current sales are also good. It is not sold as a drink, but as a health product, so the price is higher, and the profit is naturally higher.
To be honest, a bottle of fruit vinegar costs less than 50 cents, but it can be sold for 8 yuan or 9 yuan, which shows the high profit. However, its marketing expenditure is also very large. The annual advertising fee alone is more than 50 million, accounting for one tenth of the total expenditure, which shows how exaggerated the marketing is.
As for the greenhouse, it has also developed very well in recent years. The cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, lettuce, etc. produced are very popular, greatly enriching the food basket of the people in Yinchuan.
Experts from Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University are still trying to grow wild vegetables such as shepherd's purse, gray vegetable, bitter vegetable, and Malantou in greenhouses.
With the improvement of residents' living standards, this kind of wild vegetables are becoming more and more popular and expensive.
Livestock farms now have 150,000 sheep in stock. Last year, 60,000 sheep were slaughtered. Most of them were shipped to big cities such as Yanjing, Chang'an, Bianliang, Shimen, etc., so that those gluttons can feast on their mouths.
